Chapter 92
“Really,” I replied.
He smiled broadly. “You must really want to have a mate then.”
“Who doesn’t want an Alpha they can leech on?”
Jaden cocked his head at me, and I shrugged, sipping on my tea.
He sighed. “You are weird.”
“I prefer crazy.”
We were quiet again. The conversations we usually had were always structured awkwardly, but the silence didn’t feel awkward.
My wolf reminded me of the Lycan and the claws on trees. I shifted awkwardly in my seat.
“I visited Chris recently after I noticed claw marks on my trees, belonging to a Lycan.” I dropped my glass on the table to be serious.
“I noticed some on mine, and the roses at Rose Valley were affected, Jaden replied. “My uncles also sensed a Lycan presence.”
“You have uncles who can?” I wondered aloud. “The ones who didn’t think you could be Alpha, right?”
He nodded. “They told me only because they had to help look out for the pack. They think a Lycan hunter should better handle it.”
“Insulting,” I gasped.
“I know, right,” he hissed bitterly.
I went back to the topic at hand. “Well, when I visited Chris, he said something quite traumatizing….”
There was silence for effect. Jaden then asked, “He accepted wanting to kill me, didn’t he?”
Chris didn’t know it was him yet, if that was what he feared. “Not you, whoever my mate will be. But yes, he didn’t deny it.”
“Wow. So is that what traumatized someone like you?” Jaden smirked.
I frowned. “Not that, but he also added that he hadn’t sent his Lycan after me because I’m not his target.”
A
Jaden nodded, and it made me feel he didn’t understand me. “You aren’t his target. The Lycan may have just marked your trees.”
For no reason? Marking trees meant daring to cross my boundaries and destroying my land. And that wasn’t even Chris’s Lycan.
“Chris never sent his Lycan out, Jaden. The Lycan that marked my trees isn’t his,” I stated.
He was calm, so I added, “Also, why would he mark your trees when Chris doesn’t know that you’re my mate? This is something else.”
He didn’t have the reaction I desired, basically just looked shocked with a mix of confusion. “They are two Lycans.”
But why did it sound like he didn’t mind?
“Yeah, we don’t know if they’re on our side. One of them is already marking our trees. That’s not a good sign, is it?” I looked down.

Chapter 92
It was worrisome
He shook his head, placing his hand on top of mine. “Surely Isn’t. This one might be looking for trouble… or the other Lycan.”
Something clicked in my head at that moment. That was surely another way to think of it. The other Lycan might be looking for the Lycan King.
“And the Lycan should be heading to Black Hills if he was looking for his King. So soon Chris will call attention to it,” Jaden assured.
I hoped he was right. Red Moon kidnapped a Lycan King somehow and thought no one would come after him? Be it an enemy or friend, a Lycan King couldn’t go missing like that. Unless he wanted to.
My mind link got tugged on as I tried to pour a glass of tea for Jade I sighed, opening it. “What? Did that horse leave the stable again?”
“Even worse. The princess of Blue Bloom is in front of me.” Beatrice voice was every shade of
disgusted.
Princess of Blue Bloom? The kettle left my hands as I rose to my feet. Jaden stared at me like I had run mad.
